I watched ep 34 with KeyHoleTV. Not many interesting pics to post here this week, but it was a really entertaining chapter, even in japanese without subs.

Nice background here:

Riehlvelt's fight was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better in the 1999 version.
I mean just look at how action packed and how awesome aura boost looks here.

Can't you just taste the awesome?

My turn now

Spoiler: Episode 34 - Anime vs manga

First, we got an updated Heaven's Arena intro with clips from the most recent fights.

The end of Killua's threat to Gido and Riehlvert scene didn't have the comical background from the manga.

The training montage was in the manga, but no dates given

In the manga, Gon shows Wing his rod ((Sounds dirty...!!)). In the anime he gives a hint instead.

When Gido was predicting Gon's next move with the rod, it was made in the usual comical way. The anime didn't do it.

When Gon shoots his rod, it hits Gido in the manga, but bypass him in the anime.

Animation Error: The blood on Gon's knuckles was not shaking along with the fist and it was obvious it was on a different layer

Riehlvert's whips were modified to bite in order to zap.

Loved Killua's bored face here

In the anime, Gon ripped of the tile in front of him. In the manga it was the one on his right side.

Hisoka's analysis to Gon's plan was visual. In the manga it was just verbal.

Gon did indeed used his feet to stop Riehlvert's wheels

Rielvert's whips bit him in the shoulders. In the manga they were wrapped around his neck.

We find out the name of the announcer is Cocco, and Gon asks a good question!

To the next episode...

9/10

Spoiler: Episode 34 - Old vs New/Manga

When Sadaso was leaving, he mentions how his group were looking for each other. That last part was not in the manga

"Cheating is bad" scene was even more comical than the manga by making Gido a pig

We will be to the Hatsu training in another time.

Remember when I noted how over the top the announcers are?

In the old version, the tops fell down on the floor after deflecting them. In the manga as well as the new anime they vanish.

The old version was closer to the manga in this scene.

Here we see that Gido does indeed have his legs and he can walk with them. The question here, if he can walk, why didn't he keep up the fight? We did get answer on receiving psychological damage, but we didn't hear him give up or give an indication that he can't fight anymore.

Here you can hear Junko's Naruto voice.

There's another thing about the finishing blow, and that is the angle of the strike.

As seen here, the strike should be straight downward (marked in red), but it looked like it was on a downward angle (blue),and I don't it's possible to deliver full force on an angled strike like that. Gon's standing position made more sense in the manga.


Another thing to note is Wing and Zushi were watching the fight on TV instead of being there like in the manga.

Can't wait to see more over the top reactions!


Killua's fight with Rielvert was mostly the same with the exception of changing the wheelchair to a scooter,as wll as some funny oneliners from Killua.

Gon rips of the tile in his fight with Riehlvert. But since we already saw in his fight with Hisoka, it doesn't have the same impact.

Gon did not break Reihlvert's arms like he did in the manga. And he imitated the sound of electricity which again, didn't do in the manga.

Of course, Hisoka was watching his fights in the manga. In the old anime he didn't because he left after their fight from the previous episodes.

Good comparison.

It seems like whenever the 1999 does something from the manga and does it right the 2011 will change it up.

Example:

Riehlvelt's reaction to Gon threatening to turn the switch on. 1999 was closer to the manga.

I have to give props to the 1999 for how it tried to stick close to the manga.
Yet at the same time the changes like wheelchair to scooter and changing the order were pretty bad.

Although the 1999 version is good as a gag fight. I prefer the 2011 as we still get the laughs but we also get 3 cool fights.

It actually makes me wanna see Gido, Riehlvelt and Sadaso return to the manga and fight again.

I wonder if they are using the blood on a different layer just in case of censorship?

It would be nice if some of the censored episodes before they had a layer of blood removed for tv and then added back to the dvds.

Wow, did you notice Killua's character song instrumental playing from 12:10? Didn't think they'd use it as a BGM.

It's a great song! I'd love to see it used again as it fit brilliantly in that fight. Here it is on youtube (easier for people)

Which is the best fansub of the new serie?

Crunchyroll. :P

 

[futurefrog]

Crunchyroll. :P

Agreed. I speak Japanese personally and watch Crunchyroll's subs with my brother (who does not speak Japanese) and I must say that are pretty accurate (despite some minor discrepancies) and are far better quality wise than any fansubbers out there. I recommend CR wholeheartedly.

Hello, new to this forum.

I think this episode was great because Madhouse is pulling out the big guns here. Animation was awesome and music wasn't jarring in the least (at least for me). There were a lot of good expressions here, like Gido's defeated face and most of Riehlvelt's various expressions. I love how Killua looked when he was being electrocuted.

And the backgrounds were so pretty in the beginning.

I thought Madhouse did a great job during the Killua vs. Illumi and Hisoka vs. Kastro episodes, but this one really won me. I like how they kept the little explanations (Hisoka's illustration, Gido's thoughts, Killua's thoughts about Gon's fight) and also put in small changes of their own (like the snakes biting Killua). Riehlvelt suddenly became more awesome for me. I didn't think he was this cool when I marathon-ed the manga recently. I think his VA did a good job with him, especially when he screams.

I'm excited for Gon vs. Hisoka and YorkShin arc to be animated.

I'm looking forward to the instrumental version that has played in today's episode.

Given their choice of including the characters' songs, I hope they will add the instrumental version of Kurapika's song at the end of Yorkshin City. From my point of view it's got the potential of fitting in perfectly.

 

[riniloves]

I love the change in the opening narration.... somehow it gave me a better feel of looking forward much on the next or upcoming battles ahead Heaven's arc.. Dont get me wrong, the Nen class narration is nice but somehow it becomes boring...

and I love Killua's bg theme... the best in the series (for me) so far...

[Demonspeed]

Double episode?

 

[susanoo13]

That would be a treat yet I can only think about 2 times where I watched a double episode in which both episodes were done very good which are Naruto episode 66+67 and Shippuuden episodes 119+120(Kakashi gaiden) which is why I think tha if we simply have a week off it only means that the next batch of episodes get extra attention which in this case is great.

Although not a measuring stick I'm using the logic of UFOtable wanting to give higher quality to Fate/Zero and thus took a cour off so that might be the case here as well.

 

[SHINOBI-03]

I say the delay is great news because next week is going to be my Finals and I won't be able to watch the episode on time.

^Good news for you, bad news for all of us!!

^Good news for you, bad news for all of us!!

Oh, c'mon! It's just one week. Why does everyone take slight delays like this too seriously? It's not like they're canceling the show or anything! It's just one week. Take it as a chance to do other things instead.

 

[chei]

AHH finally saw 34, I had so much fun. I really like how bratty Killua sound, and that one animated jump sequence of Killua is beautifully done. Gon was just so cute and awesome.

I read that the next JUMP will have information on the cast for Phantom Troupe. Not that I'm big on seiyuu, but if they would get big name guys for roles like..Nobuyuki Hiyama for Feitan, that'd be awesome (if you guys know what I mean). Maybe Megumi Ogata for Pakunoda too.
